Ficlet request: Secret of Success (PG)

Jan 05, 2009 00:41

Hurray for quick inspiration! Here's the first of the team ficlets I offered. Don't expect them all to be this prompt, though... :)

This one is for traycer_, who asked for a ficlet based on the phrase, "I get by with a little help from my friends." Slightly more Jack-centric than team-centric, but the gang's all here! Set in late S3, with no real ( Read more... )

ficlets by request, ten for the team, my sg-1 fic

I do so love smart mouth Jack.

Hee! He's an awful lot of fun to write. :)

OMG! This was utterly fantastic!! And I loved how you incorporated the quote into the story via Jack and his wisecracks. Hee! And then there's Jack whump, and the team coming to the rescue and... and just everything! :)

"Surely you jest." Her hand fell away, and she circled him imperiously. "This human, the leader of the Tau'ri?"

Ahahahahaha!! There's a lot to be reckoned with behind that face, darlink! Hee!

I loved it! Thank you!

Yay, you liked it! :D

See, the playing dumb routine really works, sometimes... ;)

Aww. This was a lovely ficlet. I wish I could write things this fast (and well).

Thank you! I don't usually write this quickly either :) but Traycer's prompt just pinged. Yay for teamy goodness!

Oh, I so love snarky Jack, and team -- but now I want to know how the hell Jack ended up captured without his team (and just what did take them so long...arguing over a plan they could all agree on, because without Jack it so quickly become the democracy Daniel prefers and Teal'c wants?).

sg_fignewton January 5 2009, 17:40:24 UTC

Eh, there was an ambush. And zats. And Sekhmet's palace was hidden underground, so Daniel had to do the archeology thing. And Sam had to jimmy some crystals and do the scientist thing. And Teal'c had to scare the living daylights out of any Jaffa so unfortunate as to cross their path... :)

I don't think it took all that long, really, except that it was long enough for Jack to get beaten, which is what Daniel was apologizing for. But all that is unwritten backstory, because these are supposed to be ficlets. As difficult as I find that concept, sometimes!

Glad you liked it. :)

OK, so I'm more than a little late to the party. Actually, I saw #10 and, being OCD, decided to go back and start with #1 (even though they stand as separate, stand-alone stories).

I love the snarkiness, the drama, and the right-on-time teamy goodness! I don't know how you say and portray so much using so few words. It's a gift!

::grins:: I'm glad you're having so much fun bouncing around my LJ! You are a marvelous ego-booster.

Teamy goodness - nothin' like it. :)
